Can i change just ONE contact to NOT be sent iMessages?

I have an employee who used to have an iPhone, so of course, we used to communicate with iMessage.  He got rid of his iPhone and has something else now.  But my phone continues to try and send him iMessages (so he doesn't get any of them).  I can only reach him if I go to my settings and turn off iMessage on my device.  The problem there, is that I then can't get messages from any OTHER employees who DO have iPhones, so that's not a viable option.
Is there a way for me to reset just his contact so that it will send regular texts instead of iMessages?
Thanks
Dan

Unfortunately, the only method of resolving this notorious problem is for the person whose telephone number is erroneously registered with iMessage to contact Apple Support and request that their telephone number be deregistered.

  • Can You Lock Just One Page but not whole site?

    I'm sure this was answered -- but now I cannot find it in the topic list.
    I want a particular site to be open to one and all. But I want to lock just one page on that site -- which would require a user name and password. My attempts so far end up locking the entire site.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks,
    Richard.

    if you search this forum for "password one page" you will find some previous posts.
    There is one that mentions creating a second one page site and passwording it with a hyperlink in the first site. Might be the way to go. I don't believe you can currently password just one page.
    good luck

  • How can I change JUST the root password, not my user's passwords?

    I'd like to have access to this machine remotely and be able to drop files onto it's multiple users' desktops from anywhere on our network.
    I can do this with a root login. I have enabled root, but I am unable to log in using the "Connect to Server" utility using my root credentials.
    Is there a way for me to set up my root account so that I can log in remotely using a unique password? Not the password of the account I used to enable root?
    Thanks

    You could do this without enabling the root account, via ssh and an ssh-keygen key properly setup.
    Then you can use
    scp file [file ...] [email protected]:/User/username/Desktop/
    This is without enabling the root account, but rather having your account's ssh-keygen generated public key stored in the remote.system.address's /private/var/root/.ssh/authorized_keys file.
    Or if you prefer you could sftp (but I find scp much more flexible).
    rsync is also available to transfer files via ssh connections.
    However, ssh, scp, sftp, rsync are best discussed in the Mac OS X Technologies > Unix Forum

  • HT204150 iCloud contacts, they won't save.   I get a message stating that "Your changes to this contact could not be saved because of server error".   What can I do?

    Some of my edits of contacts in the iCloud contacts will not save.   Instead, I get the message that "Your changes to this contact could not be saved because of a server error".   Other, similar, edits are saving and synching to other Apple devices.
    Thanks for help

    Jeffeighmy - I had this same problem last week.  I think it is an iCould issue. It resolved itself.  Just frustrating.  I had reinstalled iCloud Control Panel and it would not let me save contacts or calendars.  Then it just happened after a couple of days of trying.  My contacts on my iphone are now duplicated, not in Outlook.  Then when I delete one on the iphone it deletes it up through icloud and my pc so I loose that contact.  Go figure.

  • All my contacts use iPhones but one doesn't use iMessage because it uses data. I want to use iMessage for other contacts but i have to turn off for just one contact. Can i turn iMessage off for just one contact?

    You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

    Within Contacts, tap Groups at top left. Make sure all contact groups are checked to show, then tap "Done" at top right.

  • How can I publish just one page at a time?

    I switched to a new computer, so I moved the domain file. When I open iWeb, all the pages are there. I made one small change, and only want to update the one page, but since it's on a new computer, all the pages are red and I can't publish just one page - every time I try, iWeb tries to publish all the pages, and it errors out every time. Can anyone tell me how to make it publish just one page at time in spite of the fact that all the pages in the sidebar are red? The only reason I can think for the error message is that there's too much content to do it all at once.

    Yes. If you are uploading to a server and not MobileMe, then just select the option publish to a local folder.
    When you have done this, then use Cyberduck or Transmit and upload just the one page from your site folder to your server, plus it's resultant file. So if you just want to upload a Welcome page for example, use Cyberduck to upload just the Welcome.html page and the Welcome files to your server and into your root folder on your server, which would be either a public_html folder, a www or htdocs folder.

  • Classic - text ringtones work for one contact but not for others

    Just got the new Blackberry classic.  I'm having trouble with the ringtones for the text messages.  The custom ringtone works for one contact but not for the others.  I have taken the same custom ringtone that works for contact A and used it for contact B but it only works for A.  B sounds the default ringtone from the default profile instead of the custom ringtone.
    I have deleted all contacts and done a re-sync thinking something was corrupt.  That didn't work. 
    None of the contacts have a link. 
    I have changed the notification profile and it still doesn't work. 
    I have deleted a contact and recreated it manually.  It still doesn't work. 
    I finally deleted my dad's  contact and from the phone app created a new contact.  I set a custom ringtone for him and it worked.  I of course had to recreate all his other information manually.  Please tell me there is some other way to fix this than recreating manually all 147 contacts in my contact list.
    I read that if the phone number has the hypen or space it won't work, but my dad's contact info that I created from the phone app has the hypen and it rings with the custom ringtone.  Also contact A has no hypen in the phone number and it rings the custom ringtone.  So that didn't seem to matter. 
    I have spent hours on Google and see that lots of people have had this problem (but not everyone) but have not yet found a solution. 
    Surely someone has found a fix for this issue.

    Make sure that the contact has "Mobile" as the field for her number and not "iPhone".
    Note that the iPad cannot send SMS messages.

  • How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

    Jim,
    Take heart.  We can help.
    First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s).  A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics.  Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
    "View > Show Print View":
    Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages.  If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
    Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
    slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:
